SEGA Offers Aliens Lawsuit Settlement

SEGA has decided to settle the class action suit over the marketing of
Aliens: Colonial Marines for $1.25 million, reports
Polygon, where they have posted the legal filings in this case over whether
the released version of the first-person shooter met reasonable expectations
based on how it was demonstrated. The publisher is not admitting wrongdoing, but
this if this settlement is approved by the court it will clear SEGA from future
legal action in this matter. Gearbox is not included in this tentative
settlement, as they continue to pursue their recent
motion to be dropped from the suit, and the story also includes word that the
plaintiffs have also filed a motion requesting more time to respond to Gearbox's
request. Under terms of the SEGA agreement class members will be able to file
claims, and details on how to do so will appear in the three places a video
gamer is most likely to look, print issues of Guns & Ammo; ESPN;
and Rolling Stone magazines.
